This is a neat property. The 2 bedroom apartment was spacious and clean and the bed very comfortable.
The bathroom needs an upgrade.
Friendly helpful service and warm comfortable unit. Would definitely stay here again, we had a great time in Invercargill.

Lovely lady checked us in and room was very well appointed
Probably only down side were the glasses were so small so had to have a gin and tonic in a mug
Stayed almost a week for National Super Champs Squash tournament and absolutely loved our stay at the refurbished Colonial. Lovely owners whom we got to meet and congratulate on their impressive improvements.
Very dated property or our executive 1 bedroom was. Permanent person next door had TV on 24 hours could be heard in our room. Off street parking but nowhere to sit outside
Had a wonderful stay at The Colonial Motel. The lady at check-in was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was very clean & neat with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this hotel and wil
Surprised at the comfort and huge space. Compared to most other budget accommodation hotels, this was rare find.
Quiet, comfortable and well equipped.
The building is of an older character, but that is not a negative.

What a Suprise
Don’t let the age of the exterior to this hotel fool you. The 3 bedroom apartment was huge for a motel, with all new modern fittings . The kitchen was well appointed with oven, hot plate, microwave, dishwasher & family size fridge. The lounge dinning was spacious with a huge tv that would be at home in a sports bar let alone a motel. The bedrooms were again large with decent beds that weren’t too hard. You also have an appointed laundry with washer dryer that was handy for our long exploring road trip around the South Island. I don’t think I’ve been more surprised with a room and travelling with my grown family of 5 I would definitely stay again
